  1. BASAL GANGLIA Prof. Ahmed Fathalla Ibrahim

  2. OBJECTIVES At the end of the lecture, the student should be able to: • Define “basal ganglia” and enumerate its components. • Enumerate parts of “Corpus Striatum” and their important relations. • Describe the structure of Caudate and Lentiform (Putamen & GlobusPallidus) nuclei. • Differentiate between striatum & paleostriatum in terms of connections. • State briefly functions & dysfunctions of Corpus Striatum.

  3. BASAL GANGLIA (NUCLEI) • Group of nuclei deeply situated in cerebral hemispheres • Components: • Caudate Nucleus • Lentiform Nucleus: divided into Putamen & GlobusPallidus • Amygdaloid Nucleus 1 2 3

  4. BASAL GANGLIA (NUCLEI) • Caudate & Lentiform nuclei are functionally related to each other & called “Corpus striatum”:Part of extrapyramidal motor system, principally involved in the control of posture and movements (primarily by inhibiting motor functions) Amygdaloid Nucleus (part of limbic system) is only embryologically related to Corpus Striatum

  5. BASAL GANGLIA (NUCLEI) • Putamen is more closely related to Caudate nucleus (regarding development, function & connections) and together constitute the neostriatumor striatum. • The globuspallidusis the oldest part of corpus striatum and is called paleostriatumor pallidum

  6. CORPUS STRIATUM (Important relations) Head of Caudate Nucleus: • Anterior to thalamus • Medial to Lentiform & separated from it by anterior limb of internal capsule (A) • Forms the lateral wall of anterior horn of lateral ventricle Lentiform Nucleus: • Lateral to thalamus & separated from it by posterior limb of internal capsule (P) A P

  7. CORPUS STRIATUM (Nomenclature) • Bands of grey matter pass from lentiform nucleus across the internal capsule to the caudate nucleus, giving the striated appearance hence, the name corpus striatum.

  8. CAUDATE NUCLEUS • SHAPE: C-shaped mass of grey matter • COMPONENTS: head, body & tail Head: -Rounded in shape -Lies anterior to thalamus (in frontal lobe) -Completely separated from the putamen by the internal capsule except rostrally where it is continuous with the putamen

  9. CAUDATE NUCLEUS Body: -Long & narrow -Extends above thalamus (in parietal lobe) Tail: -Long & tapering -Descends, below thalamus, into temporal lobe -Continuous with Amygdaloid Nucleus

  10. LENTIFORM NUCLEUS • SHAPE: three sided, wedge-shaped mass of grey matter, with a convex outer surface and an apex which lies against the genu of the internal capsule (G) • DIVISION: divided into • Larger darker lateral portion called Putamen(P) • Smaller, lighter medial portion called GlobusPallidus(g) G g P

  11. PUTAMEN • Separated from globuspallidus by a thin sheath of nerve fibers, the lateral medullary lamina • The white matter lateral to putamen is divided, by a sheath of grey matter, the claustruminto two layers: • external capsule (1)between the putamen and claustrum and • extreme capsule (2)between the claustrum and the insula Insula 2 1

  12. GLOBUS PALLIDUS • Consists of two divisions, the lateral (L) & the medial (M) segments, separated by a thin sheath of nerve fibers, the medial medullary lamina. • The medial segment is similar, in terms of cytology and connections with the pars reticulata of substantianigra L M

  13. STRIATUM (CAUDATE & PUTAMEN) “The input portion of Corpus striatum” Cerebral Cortex Striatum G.P. Lateral segment G.P. Medial segment Thalamus (Intralaminar nuclei) Pars compacta SubstantiaNigra Afferents Pars reticulata Efferents

  14. PALEOSTRIATUM (GLOBUS PALLIDUS) “The output portion of corpus striatum: medial segment of G.P. + Pars Reticulata of S.N.” Thalamic fasciculus Thalamus (Ventral lateral, Ventral anterior, centromedian) Striatum G.P. Lateral segment G.P. Medial segment Subthalamic fasciculus Subthalamic Nucleus Afferents Pars reticulata Efferents SubstantiaNigra

  15. CORPUS STRIATUMFunction - Dysfunction • The corpus striatum assists in regulation of voluntary movement and learning of motor skills. • Their function is to facilitate behavior and movement that are required and appropriate, and inhibit unwanted or inappropriate movement. • Its dysfunction does NOT cause paralysis, sensory loss or ataxia • Its dysfunction leads to: • Abnormal motor control: emergence of abnormal, involuntary movements (dyskinesias) • Alteration in muscle tone: hypertonia/hypotonia

  16. THE AMYGDALA • Site:It lies in the temporal lobe, related to tail of caudate nucleus. • Function: it is the part of limbic system concerned with emotional and behavioral functions. It is responsible for strong affective reactions as fear & anger and emotions associated with sexual behavior. • Lesion:lack of emotional responses, docility

  17. SUMMARY • The basal nuclei include: Corpus striatum (caudate & lentiform) + amygdaloid nuclei. • Corpus striatum are primarily concerned with control of posture & movement. • Functionally, caudate & putamen form the striatum, while globuspallidus forms the paleostriatum. • The lentiform is separated from caudate by anterior limb of internal capsule & from thalamus by the posterior limb.

  18. SUMMARY • The striatum is the input region of corpus striatum, while the medial segment of globuspallidus & pars reticulata of substantianigra are the output portion. • Afferent fibers of striatum come from: cerebral cortex, intralaminar nucleus of thalamus & pars compacta of substantianigra. • Efferent fibers of striatum is directed to globuspallidus & pars reticulata of substantianigra.

  19. SUMMARY • Afferent fibers of both lateral & medial segments of globuspalliduscome from: striatum and subthalamic nucleus. • Efferent fibers of lateral segment is directed to subthalamic nucleus. • Efferent fibers of medial segment is directed to ventral lateral, ventral anterior & centromedian nucleus of thalamus.
